Custom-make your own barrel of wine!

The Gourmet Odyssey Micro-Cuvée Experience is the ultimate wine making experience that actually enables you to take your own decisions in creating a barrel of wine to your taste, and in your image.

A unique adventure for any wine enthusiast, family, group of friends, wine club, or team building / client event, you will get to spend two days with the winemakers at our Gourmet Odyssey Micro-Cuvée Experience partner, Domaine Allegria, idyllically located in the south of France.

During your stay, you will spend time in the vineyard to learn all about how the vines are cultivated organically, will taste each grape varietal (Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan) separately to understand the characteristics that each bring to the wine, will be guided step by step to decide which blend best suits your taste, and you will work with a graphic designer to design the label for your bottles.

Once the wines have matured, typically 6-10 months, you will receive 300 bottles of wine that have been custom made to your taste and style! You can choose to pick up the wine from the winery, or arrange to have it transported to you, payable at the time of delivery.

As well as getting behind the scenes and learning about the art of wine making, you will also get the chance to explore the magnificent region, terroir and gastronomy of Languedoc.

Each Gourmet Odyssey Micro-Cuvée Experience is a private event for you and your guests (maximum 20 people), so we can customise the experience to suit your needs. Your visit can be scheduled during the week or a weekend any time of the year except during the harvest period (generally September to mid October), subject to availability. Please contact us to discuss further.
